Investigation of bacterial communities within the digestive organs of the hydrothermal vent shrimp Rimicaris exoculata provide insights into holobiont geographic clustering
Fig 4
Geographic networks for operational taxonomic units (OTUs) assigned to bacterial classes Deferribacteres and Mollicutes.
(A) OTU “denovo 10553”, assigned to Deferribacteres, was composed of 504 sequences. (B) OTU “denovo 6152”, assigned to Mollicutes, was composed of 691 sequences. Networks were drawn with median-joining calculation to illustrate the clustering of haplotypes; links are not proportional to the number of mutations and therefore, do not illustrate evolutionary divergence between the nodes.
